Religion of Humanity

Common card · No. 478049

Religion of Humanity (from French Religion de l'Humanité or église positiviste) is a secular religion proposed by Auguste Comte (1798–1857), the founder of positivist philosophy. Adherents of this religion have built chapels of Humanity in Brazil and France. In the United States and Europe, Comte's ideas influenced others, and contributed to the emergence of ethical societies and "ethical churches", which led to the development of Ethical culture, congregational humanist, and secular humanist organisations.
